Don’t Be Afraid Lyrics

Don't be afraid to love and get love returned
Don't be afraid to tell everyone you've learned

That love is a groovy thing
It knows how to make you sing
And it fills up your life with
Sunshine and joy

Don't be afraid to give all you got to give
One of these days you'll find that's the way to live
And living is what we all were put on this earth to do
So come on and live and be happy
Don't be afraid to love

Love is a groovy thing
It knows how to make you sing
And it fills up your life with
Sunshine and joy

Don't be afraid to give all you got to give
One of these days you'll find that's the way to live
And living is what we all were put on this earth to do
So come on and live and be happy, live and be happy
Don't be afraid to love

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
